16. DISPUTE
RESOLUTION
Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute,
controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a
"Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes")
brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and
collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to
first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below)
informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating
arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other
Party.
Binding Arbitration
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal
negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and
exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU
WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary
Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer
Rules"), both of which are available at the American Arbitration Association (AAA) website. Your
arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer
Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules.
The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or
online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of
reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any
award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the
applicable AAA rules or
applicable law, the arbitration will take place in
Los Angeles,
California
. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties
may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to
confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration,
the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the
state
and federal courts
located in
Los Angeles,
California
, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack
of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in
such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction
Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Legal Terms.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related
in any way to the Services be commenced more than one (1) years
after the cause of action arose. If this provision
is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute
falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such
Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for
jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
Restrictions
The
Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually.
To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding;
(b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to
utilize class
action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a
purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and
Arbitration
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to
the above provisions concerning informal negotiations binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking
to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a
Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of
privacy, or unauthorized
use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or
unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of
this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of
competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to
submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
17. CORRECTIONS

including descriptions, pricing, availability, and various other information. We reserve the right
